so…today is leap day, and it is time for: a day in the life: leap day
The project calls for doing “something you wouldn’t normally do,” but my day is planned already, so…here’s the bent: I got up an hour earlier than normal, so even if I do “typical” things they’re not at typical times!

9PM-ish

Time for […]

no…not those thompson twins…the real Thompson twins, Chris and Meredith.
Erika and I just got back from see the Thompson sisters at Capo’s. The sisters rocked…or, folked, as it were…as always. It was a great time! It was the first time we’ve been there. The room is huge, and there is tons of room, so […]

My new homebrew equipment was delivered on Thursday night!! It’s only been a year since Erika gave me a gift certificate to Northern Brewer — I’m not the best with gift certificates: I still have a gift certificate for a driving range that Erika gave me two years ago.
For the last two years, I’ve been […]

“howie came unglued?”

the other day, Erika painted the bathroom. She had to move the sink and vanity, and ever since the faucet has been reduced to a trickle.
it was not her fault! She did a great job! It just seems that the sudden change in air pressure in the pipes knocked some crud loose in the cold […]

I think it’s funny that amount of pages (2 1/2) in today’s Boston Globe sports section devoted to baseball equals the size of the Lowell Sun’s entire sports section! True, there is really no “local” results in the Globe, but, come on, it’s time for some baseball!!!

Q: How do you give me heartburn […]

the best team name ever: Albuquerque Isotopes?
I don’t care if they are a Florida Marlins affiliate…any team that can cause Homer to go on a hunger strike is ok in my book!

so…at lunch today we got to talking about stuff, and I mentioned an article I saw that asked a series of civics questions. The article implied that most people born in the U.S. know less than naturalized citizens when it comes to civics.
so…we took the test at lunch…
